I have a 98 blaster with a k&n filter on it and i went to my yamaha dealer to get a new one and they told me that i have to put the regular foam filter on there, because ak&n filters are bad for it. I dont know if there telling the truth or just trying to take my money. so what should i do, get a foam filter or just keep my old filter on?

 

maybe they noticed that u had some dirt build-up in the carb. if you're riding in too dusty of an area maybe a foam filter would be good. ask they why they think the K&N is bad for your blaster.

hope that helps

 

they didnt look at my filter at all they just told me that it would be bad for it. so would be it be bad or no?

 

i think they are lieing i have a K&N and it runs fine

 

What kind of conditions are you riding in? If it is dusty you probably want to stay with a foam filter(uni, twin air, etc).

 

i dont usaully ride in dusty areas, I ride where there is alot of dirt and sometimes I ride in mud.

 

sense i got my pro design k/n and my outerwear i havnt had a pinch of dirt or dust or anything in the boots they are as clean as the day i put it on! there is nothign wrong with k/n they are great wonderful filters just tell your dealer to stfu and tell him u want what u got!

 

thanks for everyone's advice, I just have one more question my filter is kinda dirty right now and i was wondering where i can get a new one. If anyone knows a good site please let me know. Thanks.

 

if its k/n go to autozone or checker and get a k/n filter recharger
u spray the soapy stuff on and let it sit then rinse it out really good then put some oil back on it.. id suggest getting outerwear.. just get the recharger kit its 10 bucks and can be used about 15 times.. way cheaper then a new filter..
